3.3 Fine-tuning

  1. How is wav2vec 2.0 fine-tuned for speech recognition?
    Add a randomly initialized linear projection on top of the Transformer into the task vocabulary (29 characters plus a word boundary for LibriSpeech), train with a CTC loss, and mask time steps and channels as in SpecAugment, which delays overfitting, especially with very little labelled data. The feature encoder is frozen.
